The room was filling up a bit more now, and the French woman took care to at least nod in greeting to each person who joined them. The smile she had offered to others earlier, however, had faded, because her focus was now on the school, and a bunch of children that were by all accounts not hers but still in need of protection. What were those in charge of the school doing, allowing so many horrible things to have happened?! Merlin forbid, children had been at the threat of being made into stew before anyone had reacted?!
"That is horrid," the woman whispered, looking at Ryden with widened eyes. Had she any family in this country, she would certainly have been owling them to inquire about any plans to send her nieces and nephews to Hogwarts. Thankfully they were all too young and Beauxbatons, much closer to them, was obviously preferred. "I do hope your son and all of his friends are well after all of this..."
No casualties, after all, didn't mean there was no damage.
She realised then that she hadn't given her name to any of the others in the room. With the exception of Gid, she hadn't managed to make her way around to any of them during orientation, and so the names were all welcomed and committed to memory immediately. Michele sat up a little straighter in her seat and mustered a smile for the room despite the current conversation.
"It is a pleasure to meet you all," she said softly, looking from person to person even if they weren't looking at her (even the person who didn't seem to belong to their department). "My name is Michele Malkin, and I am a member of the Wizarding Secretariat."
Her job title felt a bit clunky around her accent. Maybe it was because it had been so long since she had been anything but a 'personal assistant'. |
